““It clearly appears from the reading of this section that it was the intention of the Legislature to cover the entire subject of the disposition of property when a divorce is granted. No mention is made of the husband’s right to alimony, and it cannot be 'presumed that it was the intention of the Legislature to allow him alimony.””
